rc-update show = Broken runlevel entry:[SOLVED]

[ajnabi]

This all started out with my ipw2200 drivers not working. I reinstalled the drivers and related wifi emerges. Now I am having issues with the ipw2200 that I am seeing others are having on these forums as well as the following problem with rc-update. I have since upgraded my kernel hoping that would solve everything but no deal.

When I run "rc-update show" I get the following:

Code: Select all

# rc-update show
 * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/net.lo
 * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/urandom
 * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/modules
 * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/keymaps
 * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/hostname
 * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/rmnologin
 * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/checkfs
 * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/clock
 * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/checkroot
 * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/localmount
 * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/consolefont
 * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/boot/bootmisc
 * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/default/local
 * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/default/netmount
 * Broken runlevel entry: /etc/runlevels/nonetwork/local
               acpid |      default
           alsasound | boot
...
             urandom | boot
          vixie-cron |      default

Kernel info:

Code: Select all

# uname -a
Linux f-pad 2.6.16-gentoo-r13 #1 Sun Jul 16 00:34:04 EDT 2006 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.50GHz GNU/Linux

Thanks in advance for any insights into what is going on here.

Happened as well. Was in a baselayout version. Removed by hand and reentered again.

Thanks Beefrum!

That did it.

For those who might have similar problems and are new to Gentoo. Just run down the list and delete then re-add, to the appropriate runlevel, each broken entry.

Example:

Code: Select all

rc-update del net.lo boot
rc-update add net.lo boot

if anyone else has this problem and doesn't want to do it all by himself, try

Code: Select all

for entry in `rc-update show| grep Broken|sed 's/entry: /\n/g'|grep "/etc" |sed 's/\/etc\/runlevels\///g'`; do runlevel=`echo $entry|sed 's/\//\n/g'|head -n1`; service=`echo $entry|sed 's/\//\n/g'|tail -n1`; echo "rc-update del $service $runlevel"; echo "rc-update add $service $runlevel"; done

the output should be a few rc-update del commands and the fitting rc-update add commands.
Check it! then you can edit the command to

Code: Select all

for entry in `rc-update show| grep Broken|sed 's/entry: /\n/g'|grep "/etc" |sed 's/\/etc\/runlevels\///g'`; do runlevel=`echo $entry|sed 's/\//\n/g'|head -n1`; service=`echo $entry|sed 's/\//\n/g'|tail -n1`; rc-update del $service $runlevel; rc-update add $service $runlevel; done

and it should do, at least it did for me

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Why not saying it again:

Thanks, it did the job for me too!

If you pipe the Broken Runlevel lines into this awk statment it will generate the necessary delete and add commands.

Code: Select all

awk -F '/' '/$/ {print "rc-update del " $5 " " $4 "\nrc-update add " $5 " " $4}'

Hope someone finds this helpful.
